The Christmas season is upon us! As we get ready to wave a merry goodbye to 2023, we are gearing up for an exciting and rewarding 2024. 

We have a lot of plans for next year, from workshops with schools and community groups, to after school clubs and intergenerational projects. All Fighting Words programmes are free to the children and young people of Northern Ireland, and to adults who did not have access to similar opportunities in their youth. 

But to do this we need your help! 

Please consider donating what you can to our Christmas fundraiser, so we can continue to provide free creative writing opportunities to the children and young people who need them most. 

Thank you and happy holidays! 

“As the RTÉ Toy Show Appeals Charity Partner, the Community Foundation NI were delighted to award funding and support the fantastic work of Fighting Words NI to help create a new creative writing hub in East Belfast. This will inspire the next generation to put pen to paper and let their imagination fly away on a carpet of ideas with Fighting Words NI's after schools creative writing activities and tutoring.”
